Car parking

UH Bristol hospitals are located in very busy areas of the city,
with severely restricted roadside parking. We also have
building work taking place which has reduced the number of drop off
spaces available outside of the children's hospital, and these are
restricted to 15 minutes for all users.

If you are a blue badge holder, you will be able to park in any
of our pay and display parking spaces, as long as your blue badge
is correctly display. If you need to use our waiting bays, you are
also limited to 15 minutes.

New pay and display spaces have been opened at St Michaels
hospital to compensate for the loss of parking spaces in the
Bristol Haematology and Oncology Centre car park, due to the
building work. Please ensure you have sufficient change with you
for use in the pay and display machines.

All patients and visitors are encouraged to use public transport
or nearby public car parks whenever possible, which are shown on
our map above. If you need to bring your car to the hospital,
discounted parking for patients and carers is available. Please ask
